Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water injection technology for oilfield injection wells, specifically to an expansion-type intelligent measurement and control injection string, its intelligent measurement and control device, and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] There are two methods of water injection in oilfields: general water injection and stratified water injection. General water injection involves injecting water into all layers of the well without isolation, under the same pressure. Stratified water injection involves installing packers in the injection well to separate the oil layers, with a water distributor installed for each layer. Stratified water injection wells mainly use integrated measurement and control and conventional drop-and-retrieve measurement and control processes. The workload for on-site measurement and control and sealing verification is large, resulting in a significant waste of manpower and equipment resources. With the increasing complexity of injection well conditions and factors such as corrosion and scaling of the injection tubing, the workload and cost of measurement and control will further increase. Measurement and control equipment and testing teams face multiple challenges, including heavy workloads and high intensity.
[0003] Cable-guided intelligent water injection transmits downhole production status parameters to the surface in real time via cable. After surface data processing and analysis, the surface control system issues commands to adjust the intelligent water distributor to achieve water injection at each level.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stratified water injection process that enables ground-based control of water distribution at each well level via cable. This process allows control of the on / off state of the water nozzles at each level, enabling the testing of water volume at each level and the acquisition of injection parameters for each level.
[0005] Publication No. CN115680587A discloses an intelligent stratified injection string for water-polymer injection wells, belonging to the field of oilfield production enhancement and injection technology. The stratified injection string includes a downhole double-layer tubing, a downhole safety valve, a top packer, a cable positioning seal, a dual-medium injection working tube, an isolation packer, a cable insertion seal, and a plug. The dual-medium injection working tube is connected to a surface controller via a steel-armored cable. The operation method is as follows: well cleaning; normal commissioning and testing of the dual-medium injection working tube; installation of the string and steel-armored cable; string seal verification; injection of different media according to reservoir requirements; and targeted acidizing. This prior art can achieve online stepless control of stratified dual-medium injection in wells of any deflection, and can also implement targeted acidizing according to reservoir requirements. This prior art can achieve simultaneous stratified injection of water and polymer in multiple sections within the same well, with online stepless control of the injection, and can also implement targeted acidizing according to production requirements, solving many problems associated with previous water-polymer surface injection strings.
[0006] The existing technology has the problems of not being able to backwash and prevent sand, and the real-time layered injection data is incomplete.
[0007] Publication No. CN109025926B discloses a centralized control intelligent stratified water injection string and control system. The string includes a wellhead acoustic communication device, a cable-connected integrated intelligent water distribution packer connected in series from top to bottom along the injection tubing via cables and cable connectors, a cable packer, a cable-connected individual intelligent water distributor, an intelligent control system, and the downhole acoustic communication device. The wellhead and downhole acoustic communication devices establish a downhole-to-surface wireless communication system. An integrated control module provides unified control of flow monitoring and regulation, and pressure monitoring. The intelligent control system optimizes the control sequence. The cable-connected integrated intelligent water distribution packer integrates the functions of two intelligent water distributors and one packer. This prior art solves the problem of wireless bidirectional transmission of downhole data in existing intelligent injection strings, realizes data sharing between downhole intelligent water distribution devices, improves allocation efficiency, simplifies the structure of existing intelligent injection strings, and improves the intelligence level of injection wells.
[0008] The existing technology has the problems of not being able to backwash and prevent sand, and the real-time layered injection data is incomplete.
[0009] Publication (Announcement) No.: CN113818850A discloses a real-time monitoring cabled intelligent injection system and its usage method, including an injection wellhead. A cable anti-pressure mechanism is installed on the outer side of the injection wellhead. A hanger is fixedly connected to the bottom of the injection wellhead. A riser section is fixedly connected to the outer side of the hanger. A tubing string is fixedly connected to the bottom of the riser section. A depth adjustment section is fixedly connected to the outer side of the tubing string and below the riser section. This prior art has a compact structure, is simple and convenient to operate, and is highly practical. By installing a proximity alarm and a monitoring camera at the bottom of the well and connecting them to the ground control cabinet and the central control computer, the system can monitor and control the situation at the bottom of the well in real time. Furthermore, by installing a cable anti-pressure mechanism at the injection wellhead, the signal cable is prevented from being damaged or even broken by the hanger when the cabled intelligent injection system is running tubing, thus greatly reducing maintenance time and saving costs, which is beneficial for practical applications.
[0010] The existing technology has the problems of not being able to backwash and prevent sand, and the real-time layered injection data is incomplete.
[0011] In summary, the technical solutions, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the above-disclosed technologies are all different from those of the present invention. Regarding the more technical features, technical problems to be solved, and beneficial effects of the present invention, the above-disclosed technical documents do not provide any technical inspiration.

[0052] The method for using the expandable intelligent monitoring and control injection string includes the following steps:
[0053] S1. Tool Connection, Download Tool String
[0054] The tools are connected sequentially through the water injection tubing. The distance between the tools is adjusted by the number of tubings so that the cable expansion packer is positioned near the partition between the two water injection layers. The intelligent monitoring and control device is positioned on each water injection layer. The signal cable is connected to the intelligent monitoring and control device sequentially and passes through the cable expansion packer. Each tubing uses a cable protector to fix the signal cable to the outer wall of the tubing. The water injection tubing is suspended at the water injection wellhead that can be crossed by the cable. The cable exits from the wellhead and connects to the surface control cabinet.
[0055] S 2, Trial injection sealing
[0056] The remote transmission and control service terminal controls the intelligent monitoring and control devices on each layer to turn on the water tap switch, and water injection begins on the ground. The incoming water enters the intelligent monitoring and control device through the water injection oil pipe. The rotary electric drive adjustment section adjusts the water volume and then flows out from the outlet. At this time, the spring force of the anti-reverse spring must be overcome to push open the water outlet adjustment ring before it can be injected into the formation. This water injection process will generate a throttling pressure difference between the inside and outside of the water injection oil pipe. The internal pressure is greater than the external pressure. Under the action of the throttling pressure difference, the rubber sleeve of the cable expansion packer automatically expands to complete the setting and seal, separating the water injection layer section.
[0057] S 3, Well washing
[0058] Water injection is stopped, the oil casing pressure is balanced, the throttling pressure difference inside and outside the tubing disappears, and the packer rubber sleeve automatically retracts to complete the unsealing; the reverse circulation well washing mode is adopted, and the well washing fluid enters the water injection tubing from the casing through the constant pressure sand washing valve and then returns to the surface.
[0059] S4, Water Injection, Measurement and Adjustment
[0060] In the intelligent measurement and control device, sensors collect pressure and temperature values inside and outside the downhole tubing. The internal pressure test module is connected to the central flow channel through the internal pressure transmission hole to collect the pressure data inside the tubing. The external pressure test module is connected to the casing through the external pressure transmission hole to collect the annular pressure data between the tubing and the casing. The post-orifice pressure test module is connected to the flow test channel to collect the pressure data of the incoming water after it flows through the orifice plate. The temperature test module collects the temperature data.
[0061] Part of the injected water enters the flow test channel through the diversion hole at the lower end of the central flow channel of the intelligent monitoring and control device, while another part continues to be injected into the lower intelligent monitoring and control device. The incoming water passes through an orifice plate in the flow test channel, which is pressed tightly against the orifice plate by a pressure ring. Two different pressure values are formed before and after the orifice plate. The pressure value before the orifice plate is equal to the pressure inside the oil pipe, Pinternal, which is collected by the internal pressure testing module. The pressure value after the orifice plate, Porifice, is collected by the post-orifice pressure testing module. The orifice plate's inner orifice area is a fixed value A0 that varies depending on the different flow test ranges. The flow rate q for this layer can be calculated using the differential pressure flow calculation formula. v :
[0062]
[0063] The outflow coefficient C can be expressed as:
[0064] C = 0.5961 + 0.0261β 2 -0.216β 8 (2)
[0065] β=d / D (3)
[0066] Where: C - discharge coefficient; β - diameter ratio; d - orifice diameter; D - flow channel diameter, i.e., the inner diameter of the flow test channel; ΔP - pressure difference, ΔP = P内 -P 孔 A0 - orifice area; ρ - fluid density.
[0067] Based on the water supply requirements of each floor, control commands are issued through the remote monitoring and control service terminal to adjust the water volume of the intelligent monitoring and control devices on each floor until the water supply requirements are met. The collected data is processed by the processor and then uploaded to the ground control cabinet through the signal cable. The ground control cabinet then sends the data to the remote monitoring and control service terminal via wired or wireless means.
[0068] In the intelligent measurement and control device, after the incoming water flows out of the flow test outlet, it enters the rotary electric drive control section through the inlet tank. There are two symmetrical waist-shaped holes on the fixed valve and the moving valve plate adjustment shaft. The fixed valve and the moving valve plate are completely fitted together and a metal seal is used. The valve is pressed by the regulating valve spring, and the moving valve plate adjustment shaft rotates radially under the drive of the geared motor.
[0069] The water flow is at its maximum when the two oblong holes on the adjusting fixed valve and the adjusting shaft of the moving valve plate are completely aligned. As the adjusting shaft of the moving valve plate continues to rotate, the area of the two oblong holes that are aligned will become smaller and smaller, and the water flow will also decrease accordingly. When the two oblong holes on the adjusting fixed valve and the adjusting shaft of the moving valve plate are not aligned at all, the water flow is zero.
[0070] As the water volume changes, the differential pressure across the orifice plate also changes, and different flow rates can be obtained using the flow rate calculation formula.
[0071] Finally, the incoming water flows out through the moving waist-shaped hole and the fixed waist-shaped hole, and then pushes open the water outlet regulating ring to inject into the formation.

[0083] An orifice plate is provided in the flow test channel, and an orifice plate pressure ring is provided above the orifice plate. The orifice plate pressure ring presses the orifice plate tightly onto the step inside the flow test channel.

[0105] See Figure 1 The tubing string includes, from bottom to top, a plug 1, a sand-sinking tailpipe 2, a constant pressure sand-sinking well-washing valve 3, a first intelligent monitoring and control device 4-1, a cable-crossing expansion packer 5, a second intelligent monitoring and control device 4-2, a cable connector 6, a cable protector 7, a signal cable 8, a water injection tubing 9, a cable-crossing water injection wellhead 11, a flow controller 12, a surface control cabinet 13, and a remote monitoring and control service terminal 14.
[0106] Among them, the cable expansion packer 5, cable connector 6, cable protector 7, cable-crossing water injection wellhead 11, flow controller 12, ground control cabinet 13, and remote transmission measurement and control service terminal 14 are all existing technologies that can be purchased from the market, and those skilled in the art are aware of this.
[0107] Plug 1 is used to seal the bottom of the tubing, making the entire tubing sealed.
[0108] The sand settling tailpipe 2 is part of the water injection tubing 9. It is designed between the plug 1 and the constant pressure sand settling well washing valve 2 to deposit formation sand and other impurities to ensure water injection quality.
[0109] The working principle of the constant pressure sand settling well washing valve 3 is similar to that of the check valve. The tool is designed with backwashing and sand settling channels, providing both washing and sand settling functions. The tool adopts a double-valve design; the valve ball is made of titanium carbide, and the valve ball seat is made of tungsten carbide, offering excellent corrosion and acid resistance. One set of valves is equipped with a spring, which presses the ball firmly against the ball seat, providing an opening pressure (1-5 MPa) for backwashing. This design enhances sealing during normal water injection and effectively prevents formation backflow when injection stops.
[0110] One intelligent monitoring and control device 4 is installed for each water injection layer to monitor and collect data on pressure, temperature and flow rate of each layer. The water injection volume is controlled by the ground-controlled rotary electric drive regulating section 31.
[0111] The over-cable expansion packer 5 is used for layered sealing between water injection zones. During water injection, when the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tubing exceeds 0.8 MPa, the packer sleeve automatically expands and sets. When injection stops or the well is backwashed, the packer sleeve automatically retracts and releases the setting. The over-cable expansion packer 5 is equipped with cable passing devices at the top and bottom, which can realize the overall passing, fixing, and sealing of the steel pipe and cable without affecting the normal operation of the packer sleeve.
[0112] Cable connector 6 is used for connection and insulation sealing between cables.
[0113] Cable protector 7 is used to secure the signal cable to the outer wall of the oil pipe.
[0114] Signal cable 8 is used to connect the control cabinet and the downhole intelligent monitoring and control water distribution device to realize the power supply and bidirectional signal transmission of the downhole device.
[0115] The cable-passable water injection wellhead 11 is a special wellhead device that enables downhole cables to pass through the tubing hanger and out through the upper flange, and has a pressure-bearing and sealing function for the cables.
[0116] The surface control cabinet 13 is installed near the wellhead. The cabinet integrates a data acquisition and control system to control the intelligent measurement and control devices 4 at each level downhole, thereby enabling surface control of the downhole. It should be noted that the surface control cabinet 13 is a commonly used control device at well sites, which is clear to those skilled in the art.
[0117] The flow controller 12 is used to control the total water injection volume of the well, and can also work with the downhole intelligent measurement and control device 4 to complete the calibration of the flow rate of each layer in the well.

[0136] Example 3
[0137] This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of the usage method of the expanded intelligent measurement and control injection string in Embodiments 1 and 2. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 6 .
[0138] S1, Insert tool string
[0139] The tools are connected sequentially through the water injection pipes 9. The distance between the tools is adjusted by the number of pipes so that the cable expansion packer 5 is positioned near the partition between the two water injection layers. The intelligent monitoring and control device 4 is located on each water injection layer. The signal cable 8 is sequentially connected to the first intelligent monitoring and control device 4-1 and the second intelligent monitoring and control device 4-2, and passes through the cable expansion packer 5. Each pipe uses a cable protector 7 to fix the signal cable 8 to the outer wall of the pipe. The water injection pipes 9 are suspended at the water injection wellhead 11 through which the cable can pass. The cable exits from the wellhead and connects to the ground control cabinet 13.
[0140] S2, Trial Injection Sealing
[0141] The remote transmission and control service terminal 14 controls the intelligent control device 4 of each layer to open the water tap switch, and the ground begins to inject water. The incoming water enters the intelligent control device 4 through the water injection oil pipe 9. After the rotary electric drive regulating section 31 adjusts the water volume, it flows out from the water outlet 55. At this time, it is necessary to overcome the spring force of the anti-reverse spring 22 to push open the water outlet regulating ring 21 before it can be injected into the formation. This water injection process will generate a throttling pressure difference inside and outside the water injection oil pipe 9 (the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure). Under the action of the throttling pressure difference, the rubber sleeve of the cable expansion packer 5 automatically expands to complete the setting and seal, separating the water injection layer section.
[0142] S3, Well Cleaning
[0143] Water injection is stopped, the oil casing pressure is balanced, the throttling pressure difference inside and outside the tubing disappears, and the packer sleeve automatically retracts to complete the unsealing. A reverse circulation well-washing mode is adopted, with the well-washing fluid entering the water injection tubing 9 from the casing 10 through the constant pressure sand-washing valve 3 and then returning to the surface.
[0144] S4, Measurement and Adjustment
[0145] The sensors in the intelligent measurement and control device 4 collect the pressure and temperature values inside and outside the downhole tubing. The internal pressure test module 33 is connected to the central flow channel 49 through the internal pressure transmission hole 56 to collect the pressure data inside the tubing. The external pressure test module 29 is connected to the casing 10 through the external pressure transmission hole 57 to collect the pressure data of the tubing and casing annulus. The post-hole pressure test module 32 is connected to the flow test channel 51 to collect the pressure data of the incoming water after flowing through the orifice plate 52. The temperature test module 34 collects the temperature data.
[0146] Part of the injected water enters the flow test channel 51 through the diversion hole 50 at the lower end of the central flow channel 49 of the second intelligent monitoring and control device 4-2, while another part continues to be injected into the lower layer of the first intelligent monitoring and control device 4-1. The incoming water entering the flow test channel 51 passes through an orifice plate 52, which is pressed into the flow test channel 51 by an orifice plate pressure ring 53. Two different pressure values are formed before and after the orifice plate 52. The pressure value before the orifice plate 52 is equal to the pressure value inside the oil pipe, Pinternal, which is collected by the internal pressure test module 33. The pressure value after the orifice plate 52, Porifice, is collected by the post-orifice pressure test module 32. The inner orifice area of the orifice plate 52 is a fixed value A0 that varies depending on the different flow test ranges. The flow rate q of this layer can be calculated using the differential pressure flow calculation formula. v :
[0147]
[0148] The outflow coefficient C can be expressed as:
[0149] C = 0.5961 + 0.0261β 2 -0.216β 8 (2)
[0150] β=d / D (3)
[0151] Where: C - outflow coefficient;
[0152] β-diameter ratio;
[0153] d - orifice diameter;
[0154] D - Flow channel diameter (inner diameter of flow test channel 51);
[0155] ΔP - pressure difference, ΔP = P 内 -P 孔 ;
[0156] A0 - Orifice area;
[0157] ρ - fluid density.
[0158] Water flows out of the flow test outlet 54 and enters the rotary electric control section 31 through the inlet tank 46. Both the fixed valve 35 and the moving valve plate adjustment shaft 36 have two symmetrical oblong holes. The fixed valve and the moving valve plate are completely fitted together using a metal seal, pressed together by the regulating valve spring 37. The moving valve plate adjustment shaft 36 rotates radially under the drive of the reduction motor 43. The water flow is at its maximum when the two oblong holes of the fixed valve 35 and the moving valve plate adjustment shaft 36 are completely aligned. As the moving valve plate adjustment shaft 36 continues to rotate, the overlapping area of the two oblong holes decreases, and the water flow decreases accordingly. When the two oblong holes of the fixed valve 35 and the moving valve plate adjustment shaft 36 are no longer aligned, the water flow is zero. Simultaneously with the change in water flow, the differential pressure across the orifice plate 52 also changes, allowing for different flow values to be obtained using the flow calculation formula. Finally, the incoming water flows out of the outlet 55 after passing through the moving waist-shaped hole 47 and the fixed waist-shaped hole 48, and pushes open the water outlet regulating ring 21 to inject into the formation.
[0159] According to the water supply requirements of each floor, the remote control service terminal 14 issues control commands to adjust the water volume of the intelligent control device 4 on each floor until the water supply requirements are met. After the collected data is processed by the processor, it is uploaded to the ground control cabinet 13 through the signal cable 8. The ground control cabinet 13 then sends the data to the remote control service terminal 14 via wired or wireless means.
[0160] Example 4
[0161] This embodiment provides a detailed description of the structure of the constant pressure sand washing valve 3 in the tubing string described in Embodiment 1.
[0162] like Figure 7 As shown, the constant pressure sand washing valve 3 includes a second upper connector 58, an outer pipe 59, a sand control valve, a connecting short section 67, a fluid distributor 68, and a second lower connector 69.
[0163] The connection method is that the second upper connector 58, the outer tube 59, the distributor 68, and the second lower connector 69 are connected sequentially by threads; wherein the lower end of the outer tube 59 is connected to the upper outer wall of the distributor 68, and the upper end of the second lower connector 69 is connected to the lower outer wall of the distributor 68.
[0164] The upper center of the fluid divider 68 is provided with a second countersink, and the side wall of the countersink is provided with a well washing water inlet 70 to connect the second countersink to the outside. The wall of the fluid divider 68 is provided with an axial sand settling channel 71.
[0165] The connecting section 67 is connected to the upper end of the second countersunk hole, and the sand valve is located at the upper end of the connecting section 67.
[0166] The sand control valve includes a flow guide ball cover 60, a large spring 61, a valve ball 62, a valve seat 63, a valve seat sleeve 64, a ball retainer cover 65, and a small spring 66.
[0167] The flow guide ball cover 60 is threadedly connected to the valve seat sleeve 64. The upper end of the flow guide ball cover 60 is connected to an outer conical spring seat. A large spring 61, a first valve ball, and a first valve seat are sequentially installed below the outer conical spring seat. A step is provided inside the valve seat sleeve 64. A ball stop cover 65, a small spring 66, a valve ball 62, and a second valve seat are provided below the step. The lower end of the valve seat sleeve 64 is connected to the upper end of the connecting short section 67.
[0168] The ball-blocking cover 65 is provided with through holes or has a spoked structure.
[0169] When using this embodiment:
[0170] like Figure 7 As indicated by the solid arrow, during reverse circulation well washing, the washing fluid flows from the casing 10 through the washing inlet 70 of the constant pressure sand washing valve 3 into the washing channel 72, overcomes the spring force to open the valve ball 62 at constant pressure, and causes the washing fluid to flow out, enter the water injection pipe 9, and then return to the surface.
[0171] like Figure 7 As indicated by the hollow arrow, when well washing or water injection is stopped, the formation backflow material or particulate impurities during water injection are guided by the outer cone spring seat and fall into the sand settling tailpipe 2 through the sand settling channel 71, thereby preventing the valve ball from being buried and causing well washing to be blocked.

8. The method of using an expansion-type intelligent measurement and control injection string, characterized in that, Using the expandable intelligent measurement and control injection string as described in claim 4 includes the following steps: S1. Tool Connection, Download Tool String Connect the tools sequentially through the water injection oil pipe, connect the intelligent monitoring and control device sequentially with the signal cable, and pass through the cable expansion packer. The water injection oil pipe is suspended at the water injection wellhead that can be crossed by the cable, and the cable runs out from the wellhead and connects to the ground control cabinet. S2, Trial Injection Sealing Turn on the water tap switch, and water begins to be injected into the ground. The water enters the intelligent monitoring and control device through the water injection oil pipe. The rotary electric drive adjustment section adjusts the water volume and then flows out from the outlet. At this time, the spring force of the anti-reverse spring must be overcome to push open the water outlet adjustment ring before it can be injected into the formation. The internal pressure is greater than the external pressure. Under the action of the throttling pressure difference, the rubber sleeve of the cable expansion packer automatically expands to complete the setting and seal, separating the water injection layer. S3, Well Cleaning Water injection is stopped, the oil casing pressure is balanced, the throttling pressure difference inside and outside the tubing disappears, and the packer rubber sleeve automatically retracts to complete the unsealing; the reverse circulation well washing mode is adopted, and the well washing fluid enters the water injection tubing from the casing through the constant pressure sand washing valve and then returns to the surface. S4, Water Injection, Measurement and Adjustment The sensors in the intelligent monitoring and control device collect the pressure and temperature values inside and outside the downhole tubing. The ground control cabinet calculates the flow rate of the formation where the intelligent monitoring and control device is located and adjusts the water volume until the injection requirements are met. The internal pressure test module is connected to the central flow channel through the internal pressure transmission hole to collect the pressure data inside the tubing. The external pressure test module is connected to the casing through the external pressure transmission hole to collect the annular pressure data between the tubing and the casing. The post-orifice pressure test module is connected to the flow test channel to collect the pressure data of the incoming water after it flows through the orifice plate. The temperature test module collects the temperature data. Part of the injected water enters the flow test channel through the diversion hole at the lower end of the central flow channel of the intelligent monitoring and control device, while the rest continues to be injected into the lower-level intelligent monitoring and control device. The incoming water enters the flow test channel and passes through an orifice plate, which is pressed tightly into the flow test channel by an orifice plate pressure ring. Two different pressure values are formed before and after the orifice plate; the pressure value before the orifice plate is equal to the pressure value inside the oil pipe, which is P. 内 The pressure value P after the orifice plate is collected by the internal pressure testing module. 孔 Data is collected by the orifice pressure testing module. The orifice area is a fixed value A0, which varies depending on the flow rate test range. The flow rate q of this layer can be calculated using the differential pressure flow rate calculation formula. v : (1); The outflow coefficient C can be expressed as: (2); (3); Where: C—discharge coefficient; β—diameter ratio; d—orifice diameter; D—channel diameter, i.e., the inner diameter of the flow test channel; —Pressure difference, =P 内 -P 孔 A0—Orifice area; —Fluid density; Based on the water supply requirements of each floor, control commands are issued through the remote monitoring and control service terminal to adjust the water volume of the intelligent monitoring and control devices on each floor until the water supply requirements are met. The collected data is processed by the processor and then uploaded to the ground control cabinet through the signal cable. The ground control cabinet then sends the data to the remote monitoring and control service terminal via wired or wireless means.
9. The method of using the expandable intelligent measurement and control injection string according to claim 8, characterized in that, The following steps have been adjusted: S1. Tool Connection, Download Tool String The tools are connected sequentially through the water injection tubing. The distance between the tools is adjusted by the number of tubing sections, so that the cable expansion packer is positioned near the partition between the two water injection layers. The intelligent monitoring and control device is positioned on each water injection layer. The signal cable is connected to the intelligent monitoring and control device sequentially and passes through the cable expansion packer. Each tubing uses a cable protector to fix the signal cable to the outer wall of the tubing. The water injection tubing is suspended at the water injection wellhead that can pass through the cable, and the cable exits from the wellhead and connects to the surface control cabinet.
10. The method of using the expandable intelligent measurement and control injection string according to claim 8, characterized in that, The following steps have been adjusted: S2, Trial Injection Sealing The remote monitoring and control service terminal controls the intelligent monitoring and control devices on each layer to open the water tap switch, and water injection begins on the ground. The incoming water enters the intelligent monitoring and control device through the water injection oil pipe. The rotary electric drive regulating section adjusts the water volume and then flows out from the water outlet. At this time, the spring force of the anti-reverse spring must be overcome to push open the water outlet regulating ring before it can be injected into the formation. The water injection process will generate a throttling pressure difference between the inside and outside of the water injection oil pipe. The internal pressure is greater than the external pressure. Under the action of the throttling pressure difference, the rubber sleeve of the cable expansion packer automatically expands to complete the setting and seal, separating the water injection layer section.
11. The method of using the expandable intelligent measurement and control injection string according to claim 8, characterized in that, In the intelligent measurement and control device, after the incoming water flows out of the flow test outlet, it enters the rotary electric drive control section through the inlet tank. There are two symmetrical waist-shaped holes on the fixed valve and the moving valve plate adjustment shaft. The fixed valve and the moving valve plate are completely fitted together and a metal seal is used. The valve is pressed by the regulating valve spring, and the moving valve plate adjustment shaft rotates radially under the drive of the geared motor. The water flow is at its maximum when the two oblong holes on the adjusting fixed valve and the adjusting shaft of the moving valve plate are completely aligned. As the adjusting shaft of the moving valve plate continues to rotate, the area of the two oblong holes that are aligned will become smaller and smaller, and the water flow will also decrease accordingly. When the two oblong holes on the adjusting fixed valve and the adjusting shaft of the moving valve plate are not aligned at all, the water flow is zero. As the water volume changes, the differential pressure across the orifice plate also changes, and different flow rates can be obtained using the flow rate calculation formula. Finally, the incoming water flows out of the outlet after passing through the moving waist-shaped hole and the fixed waist-shaped hole, and pushes open the water outlet regulating ring to inject into the formation.
